Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0157980A1] A robot hand comprises first and second parallel main shafts (3, 4) fixed to a pair of parallel support plates (1, 2). First and second finger member-driving mechanisms are respectively provided on the first and second main shafts to face each other. The finger member-driving mechanism includes first and second bevel gears (11, 12) separately set and rotatably supported on the main shaft, an auxiliary shaft (21) rotatably supported on the main shaft, and a third bevel gear (22) supported on the auxiliary shaft to be rotated about an axis perpendicularly intersecting the main shaft and meshed with both first and second bevel gears. Finger members (5, 6) are fixed to the third bevel gears, so that the finger members may be rotated around the main shaft and auxiliary shaft by rotating the first and second bevel gears.
